Quorum posted:Pretty much; it'll be a drat close one with two ""moderates"" (note double scare quotes) on the ballot. Fortunately Virginia is famously spiteful and Gillespie will get tied to Trump whether he likes it or not. And Corey Stewart isn't taking the loss well so he could cause some shenanigans to https://t.co/l8Ni9ETbrb

The fact that Gillespie is only leading by like 3-4% so early is very good for Northam. Also shut up Chris Matthews, we have southern accents in blue Richmond and Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore too. Ralph Northam is from the Eastern Shore, his accent is classic Tidewater.

Shout out to the precincts in Giles and Pulaski Counties that voted 100% Northam.

"Guns voter" is basically shorthand for "huntin' shootin' good ol'boy". Identity politics works oddly in Northam's favor here, him being a Southerner vs the obvious carpetbagging Gillespie.

Teddybear posted:The Dems are going to dump what money they can and boost his chances however they can. This race shows that Democrats know how to win elections, especially against Trumpy folks like Gillespie and Moore. It'll be tight, but they'll have the best shot at Alabama for probably a decade or more. The secret is having an actual Southerner running in a Southern state. Northam is a bona fide Virginian while Gillespie is a New Jersey invader.

Northam made a point to address the immigration thing in his speech at least, which is nice.

Danica Roem is actually making me want to move to Man-asses with this interview.mcmagic posted:Good tone but it's all about what he does now. The reason that bad democrats are better than any republican is that he needs democratic support. That is the way to push them left. His Lt Gov Justin Fairfax is more progressive than him and is known to be a Good Dude so that should definitely help. Same with AG Herring.
